Is resource driven design the missing link ?
Value Hill
What can design do to retain the circular value of waste materials?
• What are the design considerations when using discarded products and materials?
• Which circular design principles fit resource driven design?
• How do we create the eco-systems that are needed?
• What are suitable collaborative business model strategies?
Program of this session• A second life of a stadium seat
Inge Oskam • Studio Hamerhaai: design from waste
Niki Schoonderberg, Boudewijn van den Bosch• Q&A with the audience
• RECURF: reusing textile waste in biocomposite productsMark Lepelaar
• Circular furniture at Ahrend Kees de Boer
• Q&A with the audience
• Discussion on key insights
Is it possible to give stadium seatsa valuable second life?
Exploration and evaluation of three scenario’s:1. Redistribution to other stadiums2. Upcyling seats to consumer chairs3. Recycling material for new applications

Exploring scenario 2:Upcycling seats to consumers chairs
Design principle A: reusing original steel frame
Beeld: HvA Urban Technology
Prototype by Ahrend
Design principle B: using other existing frames
Preferably discarded frames
Complex because of notmatching connections points andvolumes
Beeld: HvA Urban Technology
Design principle C: customised frame
Specials / small series
Prototype by Pantar
with wood from old pallets
Beeld: HvA Urban Technology
Design principle D: digitally produced frame
– CNC flatpack: assembly at home
– Without connecting materials (circular design)
– Option: customisation to client needs (design, measures, finishing)

EVALUATION IMPACT 3 SCENARIO’S
• Economic value: survey among certificate holders shows large interest for chairs made of old stadium seats.
• Ecological value: redistribution has the highest positive ecological impact when the seats replace newly produced seats, otherwise upcycling scenario.
• Social value: each scenario can be optimised based on specific social topics.
1. Redistribution
2.Upcycling
3.Recycling
OTHER RESULTS & NEXT STEPS
• Part of the AA seats are actually upcycled Earlier involvement in the renovation process may create a much bigger impact! Other stadiums?
• High potential to retain the emotional value of the product/materialWhat are ways to capture this emotional value? In what type of products/designs?
• Different circular design principles may be usedWhat principles are most suitable, recognised andappreciated? What is the role of the emotional value? Download publication

Circular design principles andemotional value of reuse
• Interviews with designers: – design considerations
– challenges
• Survey among visitors exhibitions: – appreciation of products
– recognisability of circular design principles
– emotional value
Ultimate goal (this and other projects):
– develop design strategies, methods and tools for resource driven design
Exhibit at Work in Progress
Dutch Design Week 2017
Preliminary insights: two lines of thinking
Seats
• To be inspired by ‘what is’, both physically and emotionally
• Keep element in tact, making beautiful products
• Prevent new waste, use standard connectors, or none
Material
• When product is not inspiring, use the material for other products
• Stay close to the original material
• Work with the material, making beautiful products
• Circular design strategies:• Design for attachment and trust
• Design for demounting and reassambly
• Story telling is key to capture the emotional value
One of the designers:
“as a designer you provide thetemporary storage for materials”

Material Driven Design
Quality of the material, in technicalproperties as well as experiential qualities
• Step 1. Development materials
• Step 2. Material properties
• Step 3. Vision development
• Stap 4. Product design
I;;ustrations: Davine Blauwhof, TU Delft
TinkeringTinkering
Experiential qualities
1. Aesthetic: (the origin of) the fibres can be recognised
2. Haptic: the materials have a different and pleasant touch
3. Accoustic: the materials have a damping effect on fibrationsand have a different ‘sound’ themselves
4. Emotional: people have possitive associations with materialswith story and properties
Relevant Design strategies
1. Longevity and trust • through experiential qualities
2. Closing loops • by using biobased and discarded materials
3. Slowing down and decreasing use of materials• by improving properties
Unique properties:
lighter, stronger and stiffer, sound damping, experiential qualities
Digital processing:
hard-soft, flexible-stiff in one product and production step
Beneficial environmental impact:
better than conventional materials
Multiple cycles feasible:
mechanic and biochemic recycling is promising
Circular business model:
waste fibre suppliers are potential launching customer

Step 1: Design
design, modular design
design, design for maintenance
C2C certificate as a proof
Step 2: Sourcing
The materials used are safe and healthy for humans and the environment.
70% of our powder coatings are healthy non-toxic powder coatings
Step 3: Production
Ahrend produces savings with renewableenergy and raw materials.
We are surrounded by the Green Forest
We recycle all our materials
Step 4: Maintenance
Products maintain their value with goodmaintenance.
During use, we adapt products bothaesthetically and functionally.
Step 5: Reuse
Ahrend Reuse takes old furniture back to give it a next life.
This not only saves costs, but reduces CO2 emissions and waste to 95%
Step 6: Recycle
From 100% of the materials used by Ahrend, value is recovered.
At our production sites there are basics on the recycled bin
aluminum
polyamide
textile
steel
thermal recycling20%
material recycling80%
Ahrend is since 2011
Zero-Waste-to-Landfill
The amount of energy that Ahrend has saved since 1990 is comparable to
lighting the lights of the Eifel Tower for 350 years
350
36,000,000The amount of water that Ahrend has saved since 1990 is comparable to
36 million shower turns
85,000The amount of waste that Ahrend has saved since 1990 is comparable to
the yearly amount of litter of 85,000 households
18,000The amount of CO2 that Ahrend has
saved since 1990 is comparable to the capacity that is needed
to drive 18,000 cars for a year
Sustainable results
The many configurations of the Ahrend 2020 chair makes this chair suitable for different work environments.
The upholstery and the foam are not glued. Reupholstering and disassembly are therefore extremely simple.
Components are interchangeable. This allows aesthetic and functional
adjustments to be made.
But sustainable progress is not just about what you've already done, but more about…
…what the next step is and how to improve yourself continuously
with each other, by sharing knowledge andby working together
RECURF project shares knowledge and research. Ahrend OASE armchair armrest with an improved experience valueby mixing crunched wool cutting waste in the granulate.
Based on the first prototypes we expect an increase in haptic, thermal sensationand aesthetics.
